A little frustrating trying to line up this front bumper.
Any advice? can someone post pictures of the left and right side so I can see how the bumper should sit? |

Joe - your fitment frustration is not specific to one area. However, I believe your focus is where the fender and bumper come together. From the pix in your Project section, the bumper is protruding too far out. I also notice the fender to hood gaps are quite close in the front.
Here's my thought and what I just experience myself. You need to push the lower portion of the front fenders outward by adjusting the front fender support bracket. In addition, you'll need to adjust the fender-to- hood gap by loosing the bolts and pulling the fender outward at the top. My fender to hood gap is approx. 1/4". But I also experience the fact that when the lower fender bracket was adjusted pushing the fender outward, the gap at the hood to fender also improved. Greg |

The bumpers are light weight and can also be "adjusted" by placing a wood block behind the bracket and applying some pressure by hand to get it closer to what you want after the fenders are were you want them (twist/push/pull) . Don't over do it as you can kink or even break the center. Truly light weight and many are distorted. Also tape or protect your fenders as to not scratch them doing this.
